Islamabad, October 08, 2022 (PPI-OT):At the United Nations, Pakistan has called for a clear roadmap to overcome the recent series of shocks to the world economy, including the deadly coronavirus pandemic and spike in commodities prices.

Speaking at the UN General Assembly’s Second Committee, which deals with economic and financial matters, Deputy Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, Aamir Khan said these shocks to the world economy have disproportionately impacted the poorest countries.
